Victoria Borwick Thank you from "The Runner Up" as LBC radio just described me in the interview I have just given regarding the London Mayor.

This has been a very exciting campaign and I know that I did well at the hustings. If more people had the opportunity of seeing me in action I think the contest would have been closer.

However we now have a Conservative candidate and I hope that Boris will win, so that we get a Conservative Mayor who will take a strong line on tackling crime, get London moving again, and cut the waste and extravagance at City Hall.

Thank you to all of you for your help encouragement and support - it has been fantastic.

Victoria Borwick today met with Republican Presidential Candidate Rudy Giuliani to discuss how zero tolerance New York-style policing can be introduced to London to tackle the crime problem.

Victoria has put crime at the forefront of her campaign. During her meeting, she asked how to go about reducing crime. Mr Giuliani told her that the right policy is to have enough police and a clear agenda for tackling law-breaking.

As Mayor of New York, Mr Giuliani had spectacular success in cutting all forms of crime. Between 1993 and 2001, overall crime was halved; murder fell 66 per cent, rape fell by 45 per cent and robbery by 67 per cent.

Under Ken Livingstone, violent crime in London has risen 52 per cent.

Mr Giuliani also told Victoria of his belief in the broken windows policy - even small criminal acts need to be tackled because the knowledge that the law would be enforced would deter more serious crime and professional criminals.

Victoria said "Meeting Mr Giuliani was a great opportunity to discuss how to go about reducing crime levels. I have said that I want to introduce New York style policing and it was a fantastic opportunity to learn how the tide was turned in New York."
